If the leaked material sent to @TheRulesLawyer1 is accurate, then WOTC is intent on destroying both the #OSR and #Pathfinder. If you care about #OpenDnD watch his video and get ready to get angry.
The terms themselves are as pernicious as you can imagine, demanding you sign over a license to all of your IP irrevocably while allowing them to terminate your license virtually at will.

Wizards has released its statement on the future of the Open Game License for D&D and it's a doozy. #OpenDnD? No, not at all.
dndbeyond.com/posts/1410-ogl… The key changes are as follows:
1) Videos and video games are no longer covered under the OGL. In theory, WOTC is asserting that its copyright can block Actual Plays of its games, just as Nintendo has asserted. That's a big deal. It also puts at risk a lot of indie games.

I just needed to use @Allstate motor club for the first time in years (member since 2013). They have changed the system to ask you to use an app now. But in order to use the app, you have to register. But the registration system didn't work, forcing me to call customer support.. Which then said they needed to update my information to get my new phone number. I gave them the info and completed registration. But, now registered, it said I needed to input a credit card in order for @Allstate to help me.

It took #RingsOfPower just ONE episode to destroy the character arc and storyline of Galadriel, to entirely subvert Tolkien's narrative of the character. Let me explain. (1/) At the end of the First Age, when Morgoth was defeated, most of the Noldor were invited to return from exile back to Valinor. Galadriel, however, was *not* invited. The ban was *not* lifted on her. Tolkien is explicit about this. (2/)

Here is everything you need to know about innately evil creatures like orcs.
1. If you find a lair of them, you should fireball the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
2. If you think they should be spared, you're Burke and you're the villain in this discussion. "But what about the baby orcs?" You should fling them across the Med Lab, then shoot them with your pulse rifle. After that, strap a flamethrower on to your rifle and go burn them up in their nest.
